Hugh Alexander Emerson, a politician built a Second Empire style house in 1826. When Emerson's wife died in the 1840s he sold it to Bishop Michael Anthony Fleming (1792-1850). The bishop died within its walls, but he is not one of its purported ghosts. This house became part of the group of buildings that would include the Belvedere Orphanage.
